1 anecdotal story does not mean we should allow something carte Blanche. For every story of someone that needs it there’s another where they regret it.
Yes some people need it but it can always be done later. We need to prevent the abuse of these types of surgeries first and foremost.
Actually for every 99 stories of someone that needs it there is only one who regrets it. I don’t know about you but I think a 99% chance (the actual stat for regretting gender affirming care) is good enough for me to potentially save hundreds to thousands of kids from potentially suicidally bad depression and dysphoria.
So 1% suicide rate in children is acceptable you you I guess. I don’t care what the stats are and the problem with liberal extremists is they don’t care about people. They want to virtue signal that they are progressive and everyone else is a maga whack job that needs to kill themself. I don’t want ANYONE to resort to suicide and people should be able to access the care that is medically necessary for them.
Do not confuse me with someone that doesn’t want to give options to families. “Gender affirming care” is an EXTREMELY broad term. I am all for leaving medical decisions to medical professionals and we need to be clear about what exactly is “gender affirming care”. My comment is geared specifically toward irreversible surgeries.
You’re insufferable. How about DOCTORS take care of medicine and RELIGIONS pumped up on moral panic can NOT do whatever they personally choose not to do, and leave everyone else alone.
The remaining 1% doesn’t commit suicide. Suicide rates are significantly lower in groups that did do the surgery than in the groups that didn’t. And even for the very, very few that do, the stated reason is almost always the transphobia they still encounter from society.

Yeah that’s why eliminating all ‘‘gender affirming’’ care for children is INSANE. That’s the exact thing I’m communicating.

I think you completely misunderstand what is being said to you. Good job, I guess.

Blanket banning will increase the suicide risk.
